Should You Accept or Reject Sapadal’s Power in Avowed?

In Avowed, Sapadal's offer of power, similar to a previous "Voice" mission, initially presents a difficult choice. However, comparing the outcomes reveals a clear winner.

Should You Accept Sapadal's Power?

For optimal godlike strength in Avowed, accepting Sapadal's offer during the "Ancient Soil" mission is strongly recommended. The resulting ability far surpasses the alternative.

Accepting Sapadal's Offer: The Thorn of Sapadal

Accepting yields the "Thorn of Sapadal," a powerful ability described as: "Fires a thorn of energy that passes through multiple enemies, causing damage on impact and momentarily Rooting them in place." This offers significant damage and crowd control, creating potent combo opportunities with other abilities, such as Fireball.

Rejecting Sapadal's Offer: Godlike's Will

Refusal grants "Godlike's Will," providing an extra Ability Point for the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard trees. This is identical to the reward for refusing "Healing Touch" earlier. While extra Ability Points are beneficial, the unique power of Thorn of Sapadal is superior.

Only players seeking maximum difficulty should reject the offer. For optimal builds and enjoyment, accepting is the superior strategy.

Having accepted Sapadal's power, consider obtaining Hylea's Talon for weapon and armor upgrades. To adjust your build, learn how to respec in Avowed and reallocate Ability Points.
